what happened
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority's international arm should run three or four successful projects abroad within five years, according to Amadeo Di Lodovico, a senior partner at McKinsey. Speaking at a panel at the World Green Economy Summit in Dubai, he said success should be judged by operating projects in different markets rather than by agreements signed.
Reuters reported that the panellists cited DEWA's high operating standards, its single system for power and water, and its long experience with private developers. PwC's Danny Touma warned against copying the Gulf's risk allocation model abroad and advised choosing partners carefully. Di Lodovico recommended a mix of local partners and government-to-government arrangements.
why it matters
For investors, the discussion shows the scale of demand that advisers expect for power infrastructure: PwC estimates $151.1 trillion of infrastructure capital will be needed through 2050, $36 trillion of it for power. These are long-term projections, not forecasts for any specific company.
